The latest Skyhawk is turbodiesel powered and seriously ready to roll By Isabel Goyer Cessna garmin turned the corner Cessna garmin crossed the hold short line to the blast off section of Runway 17 in this Cessna garmin Skyhawk we were flying, NCS. It was my usual haunt, San Marcos, Texas, and the November air was still too warm for late fall, though the stability of the air, luckily, could have been worse.

No, the unexpected thing was that we were climbing, I mean, actually climbing, as in a very strongly positive rate of climb on the VSI. Like there was a real motor up front there. Now, I know that a Skyhawk is a Skyhawk is a Skyhawk, etc.

Yes, the hp models do use less runway and climb a bit better, and the sound of the engine back in the Continental six-banger days was different, too. But those are rounding errors compared to what the new Skyhawk JT-A brings to the headsets.

After 70 years of Skyhawks, this one is really different. I first flew a diesel-powered Cessna Skyhawk years ago. That first iteration was called the TDi, and it trotted out to the track behind a Thielert turbodiesel engine putting out just ponies.

As you probably know, the diesels offered by Thielert and Austro, the first a German company and the second an Austrian one, are major conversions of existing automobile engines.

But my biggest remark was that it needed more power. Back to a Skyhawk being a Skyhawk. After that, the list of similarities is a short one. The differences are another story. The new plane features no airframe changes save some minor cowling modifications.

The CD is an inline engine, as opposed to, well, an opposed configuration. The case is heavy in a diesel engine, too, as the pressures are far greater than in a gas-piston engine diesels have pistons too, rememberand these engines, unlike most aviation engines, feature a reduction gearing system that reduces the drive shaft rpm by a ratio of 1.

Auto engines are typically built to run at high rpms for a long time. Great fuel economy is a big selling point of turbodiesel engines. The cowling has been modified slightly to accommodate the needs of the turbodiesel engine. The Skyhawk JT-A is a single-lever airplane.

Right after you start the engine on the JT-A, the system puts itself though a check to ensure that each channel is working properly.

It will run on just one if need be. Magnetos used on conventional gas piston engines are failure prone and finicky, true, but they make their own juice.

In former times, turbocharging was the domain of retractable-gear transportation singles and twins, though in recent years makers of high-end fixed-gear singles have offered customers turbocharged-engine options, too.

But a turbocharged Skyhawk? Whereas turbocharged engines of old required constant monitoring and careful power management in all phases of flight, the CD is just about idiot proof, which is a requirement for a trainer.

Engine start and management are made easy by the smart integration of the CD instrumentation into the NXi avionics suite.

Engine parameters with FADEC are done in percentage of power, a calculation the system makes for you. In addition, you get all the regular NXi goodies, including standard ADS-B Out and In, VFR sectional charts, IFR charts, the cool new vertical situation display, visual approaches to thousands of runway ends, along with the core NXi attractions, faster processing and performance, improved symbology, better panning and easier navigation.

You can add the options of the FlightStream wireless flight data transfer and Surface Watch, for industry-leading taxi and runway information and situational awareness.

Standard equipment is the Garmin G NXi, the latest iteration of the G suite with numerous updates and improvements. Jet-A is cheaper than LL by a good delta, one that will likely grow as new unleaded fuels are introduced and then mandated.

And Jet-A is available all over the world, even in those many places where LL is hard or impossible to find. Like just about every other turbodiesel aviation engine, at least so far, instead of having a TBO time between overhaulthe CD has a TBR time before replacement of 2, hours, up from 1, hours just a few years ago.

And there are several components that need to be replaced at 1, hours, including the gearbox, the chain drive, the fuel pump and the alternator.

It can be done right at home. LED landing lights are standard equipment. The lights are just one of the many updates not new on the JT-A but recent additions to the Skyhawk.

With a fuel burn at least 25 percent lower than the IO and even lower than that at typical training power settings, the JT-A will burn a lot less fuel. On top of that, with Jet-A being around a dollar a gallon cheaper than LL in North America, over the course of those 2, hours, the operator will save many thousands of dollars and skip a lot of the engine maintenance items on the way to TBR.Cessna Aircraft for sale at lausannecongress2018.com Find hundreds of classified ads for new & used Cessna Airplanes updated daily by Cessna dealers & private sellers.

With the aircraft on display, Cessna and Garmin celebrated the companies’ great partnership on these three biz jets. Garmin associates, many of whom design and build the avionics for these aircraft, lined up on the ramp to peek inside. Turn your dream into reality. The Citation Mustang is single-pilot certified, so it’s the ideal jet for your simulated hangar.

In the cockpit you’ll find the systems, switches, and avionics of the real Mustang, all modeled with unprecedented realism. Produced by Cessna between and , the Cessna is a six-seat, low-wing, twin-engined monoplane.
